At the start of each year, the Association Management Company Institute (AMCI), a non-profit trade organization that provides expert support and resources for association management companies, hosts an annual meeting for their members. MHQ has not only been a long-time AMCI member, but we also hold the AMCI Accreditation, a standard for excellence in association management.
While MHQ has typically participated in this annual event, this year, for the first time, the MHQ management team joined the CEO in Orlando for the in-person conference. We had the privilege of attending seminars, panels and networking events with industry experts and fellow association managers from around the country. Ultimately, our goal is to learn from our peers to best serve our clients.
“It was a great opportunity to be surrounded by so many leaders in the industry and beneficial to be amongst colleagues who are doing the same work, facing similar challenges, and looking to share ideas with one another,” said Mackenzie Kelley, MHQ’s Membership Manager.
Over the course of three days, the MHQ delegation participated in discussions on innovative approaches to serving our clients, gained deeper knowledge with advanced education and learned about the latest trends that will impact our associations’ futures. And our CEO, Dara Rudick, facilitated a session on medium-sized AMCs, sharing MHQ’s expertise with our peers.
Mike Swan, MHQ’s Membership Manager, was able to connect with colleagues and gain new knowledge to put to work for MHQ. “As someone relatively new to the association management company (AMC) model, AMCI was a great opportunity to gain deeper knowledge of the industry and have conversations with folks around the country.”
And of course, it wouldn’t be a successful conference without an opportunity to have a little fun with your new connections.
“As a bonus, the social event at Disney’s Animal Kingdom was pretty fun!” said Mackenzie.
